Hoya retusa - a species native to India, notable primarily for its unusual appearance for a Hoya. The leaves are flat, narrow, long, thin, and grow in clusters. The flowers are flat, 1-3 in a cluster, white with a red center - they appear and open almost simultaneously on several branches, creating a "rain of stars" effect. The flower scent is of medium intensity and reminds us of citrus/lemon.
Flowering is favored by temperature differences between day and night, and the flowers have a very long lifespan, up to 14 days. It is not recommended to move the plant after the buds have formed.
The plant does not show particular sensitivities or growth difficulties. Excessive watering should be avoided. It prefers intermediate temperatures and tolerates, for certain periods, lower temperatures of at least 10 degrees Celsius, or very high temperatures up to 35°C.
Hoya retusa is also known by the common name Grass Leafed Hoya, and some botanists have praised it as a "Botanical masterpiece."
